I had my breast augmentation done here. I want to say almost 3 years ago. I am very and extremely impressed with my results. How amazing the doctor was. He is extremely smart and he knows what he is doing. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Gupta for any cosmetic surgeries, I was very very impressed with my results and in the future when I go to get another breast augmentation, I will absolutely go to the same cosmetic surgeon. I was taken care of so so well after my surgery literally everybody that works here treated me so well with the upmost respect and I just want to say that I am thankful to everybody who works here for making my experience so wonderful because it was my first surgery ever I was very nervous but they all took care of me with extreme care and I'm so thankful for that. read more

I had my first appointment with Dr Gupta on 5/6 for breast reduction surgery. From my first phone call and appointment I was impressed with how I was treated by Dr Gupta and his scheduling partner Paulette. I was treated with respect and all my questions and concerns were answered. I scheduled my surgery and everything was moving along. Unfortunately there were some issues with my doctors office who needed to schedule a post op EKG. Sadly things did not go as planned. The Gupta Superheroes swooped in with their capes to get everything taken care of so I could go on my trip then come back and have my surgery. I feel valued and respected by this outstanding surgeon and his team. Their time and patience is second to none and I would refer people to this team without question. My rating 20/10. read more

UPDATE: It has been a month since my surgery! It is an understatement to say that Dr. Gupta did amazing and beautiful work. What I said in my initial review remains true, even for his staff, like Raegan and Sara. I have enjoyed all my interactions with them as they are all as professional as they are charismatic and personable. 1-week post-op was stitches and initial healing. Then a 2-week follow-up. Protocol for now and for the next few months is to stop by their office once a month so that Dr. Gupta can monitor the surgery site. Of course, there will be a scar, but I can tell that it will be minimal as the months progress. Dr. Gupta has provided me with homework between my monthly visits, which is to put on scar cream and sunscreen, and protect the area from the sun to minimize -- you guessed it -- the appearance of the scarring. A good ol' bandage works, too. 5/5 would recommend Dr. Gupta and will pass along his name to family and friends. Assuming this isn't my first surgery, it's safe to say that I'll be coming back to Dr. Gupta in the future for more surgical work! Thank you Dr. Gupta and team! read more

I'll start this by saying I'm writing this under my husbands account, I am a real woman with a real review. If I could rate this Dr a "zero" I would. I'm 59, I had implants for over 30 years. Back in late 2019, my left one was getting capsulated so my GP suggested we start looking into an explant and sent me to Dr Gupta. I wasn't thrilled with his bedside manner but he did seem to know what he was talking about. He reviewed the MRI my GP ordered, and said we should take them out ASAP. I left with a sick, dread feeling, but I chalked it up to nerves. I wanted the explant, but...2020 happened and then...life. I put it off due to many factors. May of 2024, my right implant ruptured. Went to my GP and he sent me back to Gupta. First thing he said was "You STILL have them?" Raised his voice and condescendingly told me that because I waited so long, the procedure would be quite harder and he could "see" and feel that I barely had any breast tissue left. He also said my skin was so thin that I should expect them to look terrible (he used that word), I would have empty sacs but in 6 months after explant we could do another procedure to fix them (I said I did not want any more implants and he didn't say anything). I asked if he could maybe leave what good breast tissue there was in my right breast, he said NO, he does not "chase silicone", he would need to take it all out. I asked if I was getting any testing, ultrasound, MRI, even Xray, the answer was "No, I am very experienced, I can feel the silicone all throughout the breast". My husband was with me and we both kind of looked at each other in shock as we left his office with me in tears. I let it sink in a few days and decided there was no way I would do the surgery with him. After a hunt for a new PS, I found one that I loved. She wouldn't even see me without Ultrasound and MRI. When I met with her she was very calm and understanding, said she couldn't tell me how much breast tissue I had but she recommended the explant then in 6 months we could always do a lift if I was unhappy. I finally had my surgery 2 weeks ago. First of all, I LOVED my surgeon, the exact opposite of Gupta, she listened, cared and was gentle. Second, I still have tons of breast tissue. I am a small "C" now (!!), which was pretty much was I was before I got implants. My husband and I are shocked at how I look, we expected the worst because of the fear Gupta spewed. Third, the silicone was not "all over my breast just free in there" like he said. She said she didn't have to "chase silicone", she removed the implants and capsules and left everything else. To say I love them is an understatement. 420 cc of toxic bags are out and I am still left looking like a WOMAN. I just know that would not have happened with this Dr who has a big ego and zero bedside manner. My advice? Even if he seems good, interview a few Drs, especially when it comes to breast surgery!!!! read more

Gupta plastic surgery is absolutely amazing. I was diagnosed with breast cancer at 29 years old and had the worst experience with previous doctors in Oregon where I previous lived. I had given up hope and thought the way they left my body is what I had to accept and live with. From the first time I met Gupta and his staff I knew I was going to be taken care of. When you walk into the office they're super friendly and make you feel at home. When I spoke with Gupta, he let me know that this is not forever and he can make me feel confident again. I am about to do my second surgery with him and feel excited to see the outcome. I recommend him to everyone and to anyone that has had a mastectomy to visit his office. He is amazing, does a great job and will not stop until you're satisfied. *update- surgery went well, and staff as always very friendly and always helpful.* read more

Wow, my dream became a reality in a very short time. This amazing staff of people made this so smooth and easy for me. I'm the biggest chicken ever and never thought I would be able to get through something like this but I did and it was easy. The ladies in Dr Gupta's office told me I have the best and they weren't kidding. I felt comfortable and only a little nervous. Everyone from the admitting nurse Jessica to my incredible Preop nurse Theresa. Theresa, our conversation keep my mind off the surgery. You have no idea how much I needed that. Thank you. (Book that trip to Belize girl. You will love it.) My Operating team Val, Shannon and Maggie. Thank you. It was so comforting knowing one of you had been through this and that personal experience you shared with me was great to know. Audie in Recovery thank you for keeping me out of pain. And the most amazing Team Captain, Dr Gupta. I love love love my perfect 34C boobies. They are so cute. Going from a 34F to a 34C. I can't thank you enough. It's been my dream forever and you made it come true. I will forever be grateful to you. Thank you all so very much. Crystal read more

From start to finish Dr Gupta and Sara Sanders rolled out the red carpet for me. I had my first surgery 11 years ago with implants, I had known for a while that I wanted to get a breast lift with augmentation. I had been so nervous about finding a doctor that will put up with all my questions and all my neediness that would come behind it. So I finally did it I booked my appointment with Dr. Gupta and by the time I left I was booking my surgery date. My surgery was on a Tuesday and because my husband had to work he wasn't able to come to any of the prior appointments so the office actually let my husband come in and talk to Dr. Gupta before the surgery, with so many restrictions with Covid I couldn't believe they were gonna let him come in and actually talk to the doctor. That really set all my nerves to ease before surgery. When I woke from the surgery the pain was unbearable, but the entire staff at the surgery center sprung into action and mad me feel like I was their daughter and they were going to take care of me. In the next few days to follow I must have called Sara 3 to 4 times a day with questions, and every time she answers the phone with nothing but a smile on her voice. Lol. I am talking Saturday and Sunday when I know she is at home with her family she's still answered tending to me and making sure I didn't feel bad about it. I just had my one week postop and I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. I still have a ways to go in my recovery, but my relationship with Dr Gupta and Sara did not end when I swiped my credit card and they have proven that. I have become a part of the Gupta family whether they like it or not. Lol. Thank you Team for making me feel special inside and out. read more

I went to see Dr. Gupta the day after I had surgery to remove skin cancer from my nose. I was amazed that Dr. Gupta was able to make my nose look normal the way it looked prior to moes surgery. Having surgery on your nose can be scary, his personality was calm, cool, confident it helped. I would recommend Dr. Gupta he's talented, very kind and down to earth. read more

I was referred to Dr. Abhay Gupta to get something removed off my décolletage area. I was really nervous about having a scare on that area but Dr. Gupta calmed my nerves and was very kind. He also recommend some under eye cream to help with my dark circles! Strongly recommend Dr. Gupta! He's very professional and really understood my rare medical condition. read more

I can't say enough about how great Dr Gupta & his staff are! I started seeing him after a few questionable situations with Botox from other doctors. But with Dr Gupta, my results were amazing! No drooping eyelids & I didn't feel like i needed more after a month (like with the other places I'd tried). I am really pleased with how it looks and how it lasts from Dr Gupta. And the front desk staff is attentive & really nice. All in all, an excellent experience. I highly recommend read more

I went to Gupta for a consultation a few years ago but decided to wait on the surgery because of my age but at that time he was fairly decent back then. I recently scheduled another consultation (years later) because I remembered his name. From my understanding from my discussions with his administrative assistant- consultations (even secondary ones years later) were supposed to be free but I was still billed later on. It ended up only being 25 with insurance but he charged my insurance 285 so be very careful before falling into this trap because if you decide not to go with him, he will charge insurance and you-and I could only imagine what it would be like without insurance. Furthermore, this time a female nurse did not come in with him and my mother was not present because of Covid restrictions which is fine. What wasn't fine was now that there is not another female present in the room, his bed side manner was awful. I felt violated after leaving because he would just manhandle you without giving you any indication of what he was about to do or asking if you were comfortable with what he was going to do. I understood there would be some physical touch based on the overall operation I was looking at having done but for him to pinch and twist and do highly inappropriate things to my body without giving any warning it was disgusting. I told my family and my partner who all urged me to speak up. I was going to leave it at just telling them and trying to work through the stress this has caused me on my own but after being charged a bill for an experience that was nothing less than traumatizing I only hope that this review spares any woman from being put in this position. He should not be using Covid restrictions as a means to act this way since he is now in rooms alone with patients. Overall he was just aggressive, body shaming and had awful bedside manner. read more

I was impressed with Dr. Gupta just in the fact that he told me to wait for a few more months before I do anything regarding my face. He told me my scar, etc. caused by recent melanoma surgeries, needed a few more months to heal before he would do any correction. The other cosmetic surgeons I consulted with were ready to do a facelift, etc. at my earliest convenience. read more

Dr. Gupta and his entire staff are wonderful! I felt very taken care of and comfortable. I highly recommend him!

I went to Dr. Gupta to fix my botched breast augmentation done by a Doctor in Scottsdale, AZ. It is crazy what Gupta is capable of. My breasts are night and day, I couldn't believe how well he did with what he had to work with. My case seemed so unfixable since my right implant fell into my stomach and my left breast was so saggy (which was the one that was supposed to have a lift) but Gupta was able to make them look almost completely symmetrical. I fully recommend Dr. Gupta especially if you feel the same way as I did and felt as if your breasts are unfixable because Gupta will prove you wrong. read more

After wanting a breast augmentation for years, I decided to go for it and couldn't be happier! I can't say enough great things about Dr. Gupta, his surgical skills, and his office. From my very first appointment, to my amazing results. His bedside manner is impeccable and his sense of humor makes it even better. I usually don't leave reviews, but after my experience with Dr. Gupta I was compelled to do so. He made the whole process go very smoothly explaining everything in full detail, not to mention his awesome staff who helped with every step along the way. He takes his time to listen to you and your concerns and offers what he thinks is best for you. I'll definitely be going back to him for any future procedures and would highly recommend him to anyone! read more

From Dr. Gupta to his staff and the team at the surgery center, everyone was top notch! Feeling blessed! read more

Went to Carlsbad location and it was very clean and easy to find. Sara in the front was friendly and professional. Dr. Gupta was friendly and professional too! I made an appointment to get Botox, he gave his professional opinion, did not push me to do more than what I wanted or try to sell me (like I've dealt with other office in the past) was quick at injections, very informative and my Botox looks great! What more could I ask for?! I genuinely had a great experience. I will be coming back soon for my next round and possibly to consult about lasers! Thanks so much! read more

I can't thank Dr. Gupta enough. I flew into town from Seattle just for his services. I have been getting Botox for years, and he was just wonderful! I also upgraded this time around to lip fillers. I was very nervous, and he and his staff made me feel so comfortable during this experience. I'll continue to fly down every time I'm due for a refresh. read more

After having a few basal cell carcinomas removed by a dermatologist, I went to Dr. Gupta to have one removed in my decolletage area because I was concerned about scarring. I was very pleased with Dr. Gupta, his office staff and the final result. From the first day, I could tell the scar was going to heal well and sure enough, one month later, it is barely visible. I wish I had known what a difference going to a plastic surgeon would make before I had the other spots removed! I would highly recommend Dr. Gutpa and will definitely go back for any future issues - no matter how small! read more

It was so fantastic to have Dr. Gupta as my surgeon. He is confident, knowledgeable, and set my mind at ease. He and his staff did an outstanding job accommodating my requests and kept me well-informed of surgery scheduling issues. Paulette, the surgery coordinator is phenomenal. His office staff is very attentive and courteous, and the office waiting area is very calming. What I most appreciated was the fact that at my first visit, it was discovered that he does not accept my insurance. However, he still met with me and agreed to take my case. I was beyond grateful for the opportunity to have such an amazing surgeon handling my case. I was in great hands the whole way through. I very much appreciated Dr. Gupta's professionalism and diligence in answering all of my questions and reaching out to me personally, on a few occasions. We all know how busy our healthcare providers can be, so it was an extra nice gesture that he contacted me directly a few times. My particular case was not cosmetic in nature, however, I was thrilled that Dr. Gupta made it a point to ensure my incision would heal into a minimally-visible scar. Thank you so much, Dr. Gupta and staff. I wish all healthcare providers were more like you! read more

Dr. Gupta was the only surgeon I went to for a consultation. He was highly recommend by some of the anesthesiologists I work with that have worked with him. I wanted an augmentation and lift after breastfeeding and pumping left my breast completely flat. I knew doing a lift makes the procedure more complicated. Dr Gupta explained everything in detail to me and I agreed to have it done. After a month or 2 after the surgery, I noticed the implants looked to be settling more in my armpit area and were a little too far apart due to a muscle band pushing the implant. As with any surgery, I know there was a risk of anything happening. I scheduled a revision and had it done a couple weeks better. That was about 2 months ago and now they look so much better. He really did a great job fixing the issue. I've gotten so many compliments and am very happy with the results. Dr. Gupta is very professional and straightforward. Everyone in his office is also very courteous. I would definitely recommend going to him. read more

I recently went to Dr. Gupta's office for a consultation and information regarding Botox. I was nervous and a little apprehensive at first, but it turned out to be a wonderful experience. Dr. Gupta and his staff were calming and supportive. He explained the pros and cons and thoroughly and honestly answered all my questions. I decided to try his suggestion of Botox on my crows feet around my eyes and Juvederm injections for the deep creases that formed an eleven between my eyes. The results were amazing! It made a huge difference, especially on my lower forehead and between my eyes! People I've known for years have said I look more refreshed now that I'm retired, but I secretly know, it was really my visit to Dr. Gupta's office that made all the difference! read more

Every step from the consult to the post-ops have been wonderful! The staff is great and Dr. Gupta did an amazing job. I have already recommended him to several people I know who are looking for some quality work. Couldn't be happier! read more

Dr. Gupta is an amazing surgeon who is understanding and flexible! As a young girl going in for a breast reduction I was very nervous about the physical outcome and pain that would follow surgery. Dr. Guptas team/staff answered every question I had and comforted me with my nerves! I am a little bit over a year out from surgery, I'm fully recovered and playing volleyball for my university. My scars are almost 100% gone and I am so happy with the result!! I am so so thankful I chose Dr. Gupta as my Surgeon for this life-changing procedure! 10/10 recommend. -Madison B. read more

Dr. Abhay Gupta is an excellent and highly professional surgeon with great and helpful staff. He is to the point and makes sure to cover all options and pertinent information. Paulette, in particular, is really kind and informative regarding procedural information and insurance questions and helped me to schedule my surgery. Couldn't recommend this office more. read more

His office asked that I send my medical files over before my appointment (normal). When I got there, the assistant showed me into the exam room and asked me to remove my top and change into a gown. I refused and she said she thought I was there for a breast consultation (I was there for a small growth on my face). While I am confident enough to question someone asking me to unnecessarily remove my top, I feel badly for the next patient who isn't as savvy. Then Dr Gupta comes in, calls me by the wrong name (which always instills confidence in a patient), ignores my extended hand and immediately hands me a hand mirror without telling me why. After questioning him, he said he didn't review the medical records I sent to his office weeks before my appointment. Yup, the same records his staff said he HAD to have before he saw me. When I expressed concerns about scarring, he condescendingly said "of course there will be a scar". For the record, my dermatologist sent me there to AVOID a scar ON MY FACE. After less than 10 mins (I'm not even sure he was with me for more than 7 mins), he says over his shoulder "talk to my staff to set up the procedure" as he walked out of the room. Needless to say, he will not be doing my procedure and after I told my dermatologist what happened (she was not happy), I doubt she'll be referring patients to him again I don't know what his surgical skills are but I do know he missed the class in bedside manner in medical school. read more

6 weeks post breast reduction. I'm extremely happy with results. Dr Gupta was very professional and very caring. He explained everything in clear detail. Sara his office manager, well I cant say enough about her. Really handles all the paperwork and emails to confirm things were done. I never had to worry about one thing with Dr Gupta and his staff. I would 100% recommend Dr Gupta and would return to him for any future surgery. read more

Very poor bed side manner. Abrupt and unsympathetic. It is so important to have multiple consultations so you choose the most appropriate doctor to treat your mental , emotional and physical health read more

I cannot say enough about my experience with not only Dr. Gupta but also his staff. Before my procedure I visited a few other surgeons and although some came in at lower prices, nothing compared to the thoroughness of explanation and comfort Dr. Gupta has. It has been over year since my final surgery and I am so happy with my results! Sara the surgical manager went way beyond her job duties to make sure I was ok before and after surgery and took the time to help answer all the questions I had at any time I had them. I have recommended all of my friends to their office even just for simple Botox procedures and everyone has had nothing but great things to report back to me ass well! read more

Dr. Gupta and staff were amazing. My consultation was more than I expected. I felt comfortable and safe having an in office visit. As he proceeded with his recommendations it made me feel confident he was experienced. Can't wait! read more

Dr Gupta has been treating me since my cancer diagnosis in 2017. I have had many issues that dAmaged me from chemo and radiation. Dr Gupta has the best way of keeping me calm even when I come in crying. He gives me options for treatment and listens to me. He gives me hope in the darkness of this time of despair. I would recommend Dr Gupta to everyone read more

Breast cancer and a bi-lateral mastectomy followed by reconstruction (performed by a different plastic surgeon) left me not only unattractive, but in severe pain, at times debilitating. After researching and consulting with top plastic surgeons in both San Diego and Los Angeles, I found Dr. Gupta to be the most competent and knowledgeable. Dr. Gupta performed surgeries that not only eliminated my pain, but made my breasts look beautiful! I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Gupta to every woman considering breast reconstruction, or any other surgery. He is absolutely fantastic and has changed my life! read more

It took me a long time to decide on my surgery until I found Dr. Abhay Gupta, a well renowned Board Certified Plastic/Reconstructive Surgeon in San Diego, CA. During my initial visit with him, his kindness, likable demeanor, positive attitude, professionalism, and of course his good looks are quite evident and truly remarkable. His numerous and impressive professional and surgical credentials posted on the wall also caught my attention. I then said to myself, " this is the surgeon I can trust! ". I had my surgery with Dr. Gupta and now recovering well without complications. What a magical transformation of my self image, physical and psychological wellbeing from then and now. It is indeed a life changing experience! Dr. Gupta's dedication and commitment to excellence in patient care, patient safety and patient satisfaction is highly commendable and very much appreciated. Thank you so much for making a great difference in health care ! read more

I had MOHS surgery for a large BCC on my upper forehead Nov 2019 that left a two inch diameter, deep wound with exposed bone. After two follow up visits with the MOHS surgeon and a consultation with a wound care team I was feeling hopeless. When my PCP saw the wound she made a peer to peer call to Dr Gupta who made time to see me the very next morning. He expressed confidence that the wound could be healed at the very first consultation. Dr Gupta performed a skin graft and flap over the wound in early March and although I still have many more months of healing the wound has been successfully covered. Having worked in healthcare all of my life I know the difference between an outstanding medical provider and an incompetent one. Dr Gupta, and his support staff Paulette and Sarah, were all top notch and readily available to answer my questions and address my concerns. I would highly recommend Dr Gupta! read more

I first met Dr Gupta two years ago. I had a pre-melanoma by my collarbone. It was a large incision almost 4 inches long. He was able to close the incision and also change it a little so it wasn't stressful on my neck. Last week Dr Gupta also did surgery for a basal cell on my nose and another basal cell between my eye and nose after my dermatologist did a Moz method on both. He is very confident in his work. And I trust him. He took the stitches out today and said everything looks really good. It will take a good eight months before my nose is all healed. Just have to remember to keep applying sunscreen. read more
